Day 1: Travel day to Los Mochis. Transfer by
taxi to the colonial town of EI Fuerte, Sinaloa,
with its charming town square and imposing Palacio
(city hall). No fast foods or stop lights here!
Relax over dinner.
Day 2: After breakfast leave for the EI
Fuerte train station about 8:00 to begin the Copper
Canyon experience with a gorgeous train ride into
the Sierra Tarahumara, passing lakes and waterfalls,
to the Bahuichivo Station, in the State of
Chihuahua. Travel by dirt roads to Cabaņas San
Isidro, past the mission village of Cerocahui, about
45 minutes from the train station. Have a late lunch
at Cabaņas, then settle into your special retreat
cabin. Late afternoon would be a perfect time for a
guided walk, or a stroll around the grounds.
Days 3-8:
We have already described that this time is yours,
and whatever your intentions, you will have the
complete support of the staff at Cabaņas San Isidro.
That said, there are opportunities you may want to
take advantage of: A visit to the one-room
schoolhouse up the road that teaches bilingually, in
Spanish and Tarahumara, or to a distinctive cave at
the bottom of the canyon below the meditation cabin;
several interesting walks to Tarahumara ranchos and
to explore nearby vantage points with many
interesting varieties of vegetation, trees and
birdlife; mid-range hikes to waterfalls and the
small community of Porochi; and long-range hikes to
miradores, including Cerro del Gallego, the
major overlook of Urique Canyon.
Remember that
while the staff at Cabaņas San Isidro is there to
serve you, they also need your consideration. It
will help if you fit yourself into their meal
schedule or communicate in advance if you wish to
deviate occasionally, or need a picnic lunch for a
hike you plan.
Day 9:
After breakfast, leave to explore the village of
Cerocahui and its beautiful mission church. With
picnic lunch in hand, board the train for the return
trip to EI Fuerte. Going west it seems like a
completely new train ride descending out of the
mountains. Your early evening arrival assures time
for a relaxing dinner.
Day 10: After breakfast, transfer by taxi to
the Los Mochis airport and the return flight home.
